This is the Cincinnati Enquirer, not a bad columnist, really, all decked up in his Sunday best for his mug shot. It's all here, folks: The pseudo-Cosby sweater, the poorly cut denim, the work boots and, of course, the rather awkward solution to the "what do I do with my hands?" problem.

Most terrifying thing about this? On Enquirer, you have the option to "ZOOM." Uh, no thanks, actually.
